Can't blacken the PTFE containing finish, so this one's built in lubrication is hexagonal boron nitride. Same nickel-tungsten base coat for wear/corrosion resistance, but with a nickel-moly top coat w/ HBN for looks. The molybdenum was picked over the tungsten because it give a richer black.
Will heat treat tonight, and blacken tomorrow.
Everyone who sent in a mag will have this finish (they were done in the same batch as the Salient pistol).
Oooooohh... It's gonna be black now.
Think for yourself. Question authority.
What's the deal with the hand engraved numbering on the inside?
Got me. I didn't do it.Originally Posted by Skullybones
I'd figure it's a job ID number.
Salient (and other stuff) turned black:
The Salient turning black:
Some guys SIG mags.
HK mags, SIG mags, test coupon, and Salient G17 slide.
Back on the frame - totally devoid of oil other than finger print smudges (that's why it looks a little glossy in some areas).
After wiping down with a silicon rag.
The coating was our standard nickel composite with boron nitride as the dry lube.
Will this black coating be available for aluminum frames/parts. I have a set of old, white Sig aluminum grips that I would love to have plated instead of cerakoted. Need an aluminum test mule?
The black was developed for aluminum. Specifically, for DI ARs.
Bill, would it be possible to coat Glock trigger bar with the PTFE coating?
Bill; tried to PM you but your inbox is full.
How do you think your finishes would work on S&W revolvers. Thinking specifically Black.
